Greetings from Christchurch New Zealand,
As you may or may not have heard I have been working at the College on a Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) National Science Foundation (NSF) Grant for the past year. I have been guiding students on the development of a New Automated Weather Station(AWS) for extreme Polar climates.
The Principal Investigator, Dr. Matthew Lazzara, and I departed from Madison Wisconsin on Wednesday January 3rd for Antarctica. We will be maintaining the current AWS network by visiting stations and doing ongoing maintenance to the current network. We have in our possession Prototype Zero of the new brain for our grant and hope to deploy this while in Antarctica.
During my trip i will be maintaining a blog at the following address:

Keeping it cool,
Andy
